Early life[]

His father, Asher Fedi, is a drummer who MTV described as "one of the most accomplished and well-respected drummers in Israel". His father taught him to play drums from a young age, however at ten began pursuing guitar instead, inspired by Drake Bell's character in Drake & Josh. At age 16, Fedi and his father moved to Los Angeles in order to find further musical opportunities, where Fedi then enrolled in Calabasas High School. Joining his high school's jazz ensemble, his playing soon began drawing audiences from outside of the regular parent attendees. In 2018, he entered the Reno Jazz Festival, where he won the "Outstanding Performer" award, against over 9,000 other contestants. Within the following year, he was approached by songwriter Sam Hook to collaborate.[2]
